When quotation marks are put around a word in this way, they are called scare quotes. The rules for using quotation marks around a single word for emphasis have changed since people began using word processors for their writing. If a word needs to be emphasized but is not being quoted, you should avoid putting the word in quotes and use italics instead. âTheyâre,â âtheir,â and âthereâ are easily confused because theyâre homophones.
When you quote something which is more than one sentence long, the quote should be single- spaced and indented from the rest of the text. Also, in this form, there is no need for quotation marks around the quote. A footnote or similar citation, however, IS necessary (see handout on plagiarism for examples of format).
